As another busy month in the global media landscape draws to a close, the year edges ever nearer to its finish and BlueSky Education has continued to secure high impact and high visibility coverage for our clients across leading international outlets. With budget conversations dominating the UK news and end-of-year reflections beginning to take shape, our clients’ insights, expertise and research have featured across some of the most influential publications.

MSN features Manchester Metropolitan University Business School (MMU)

BlueSky Education placed expert commentary from Dr John Simister at Manchester Metropolitan University Business School in MSN in an article that outlines what financial specialists would have hoped to have seen in the upcoming budget. The piece emphasises the school’s reputation for economic insight and showcased its expertise on financial policies and their implications for business leaders.

Additionally, we secured an article in AACSB Insights that spotlights MMU’s redesign of its MBA programme. In the piece, Dr Anastasia Kynighou, Reader (Associate Professor) in Human Resource Management at MMU, offered an in-depth look into how the MBA has been reimagined from the ground up. The article reinforced MMU’s status as a forward-thinking institution committed to making the experience of business education relevant to today’s landscape.

Aalto University School of Business in Reuters

We secured coverage that placed research from Aalto University School of Business to be featured in Reuters, to be a part of the important conversations of sustainability, greenwashing, and the behavioural gaps that exist even among experienced purchasing managers. The coverage highlighted Aalto’s leadership in sustainability and offered practical recommendations that organisations can use should they seek to align sustainability claims with genuine action.

Fortune highlights expert voices from ESSEC Business School and EHL Hospitality Business School

Both ESSEC Business School and EHL had their academics’ commentary feature in a Fortune article that explored how Gen Alpha will reshape the workplace replacing emails with voice notes as the next generation enter the workforce. The widespread pick-up of this piece, syndicated across more than 30 global outlets globally, significantly amplified ESSEC’s and EHL’s voice – contributing to the conversation around the future of workplace communication.

Saïd Business School, University of Oxford in Fortune too

Again, within Fortune, we secured a thought leadership piece for Kathy Harvey, Associate Dean for Global Networks and Innovation at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. The piece offered a powerful critique of outdated norms in finance and the barriers facing women in the sector. The coverage reinforced the school’s influential role in driving conversations around gender equality, representation, and cultural change in global finance, and the wider business sector.

Alliance Manchester Business School in the FT

In the Financial Times, we placed commentary from Alliance Manchester Business School that amplified the school’s expertise into the business, economic and political news agenda in a piece which focused on the impacts of visas with international students looking to study at UK business schools. This coverage once again positions Alliance Manchester Business School among the UK’s leading voices in business education.

Vlerick Business School was featured and spotlighted in a Forbes piece that uncovers new findings on microaggressions in the workplace. The article takes an in-depth review of the research from Vlerick Business School that women are more likely to stay silent in response to them, using coping mechanism rather than speaking out. This piece further positions Vlerick as a leader in general HR and workplace research as well as in wider organisational and behavioural studies.

Looking ahead

With the Budget now delivered and the national conversation shifting towards its consequences, we are waiting to see what comes next. It’s been a fantastic month for our clients whose expertise and insights continue to resonate among global media. From high-profile commentary to impactful research, November has been a brilliant month for visibility and thought leadership.

This is a small snapshot of what our team at BlueSky Education can achieve, and we look forward to building on this momentum as we move towards the end of the year.
